Hepatitis B e antigen positive (HBeAg positive) is not contagious through normal contact; it is mainly transmitted through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual contact. Avoiding sharing personal items, regular checkups, and vaccination are key preventative measures.
1. "Triple positivity" in hepatitis B refers to a positive result for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B e antigen, and hepatitis B core antibody in a hepatitis B virus-infected individual. This indicates active viral replication and high infectivity. Hepatitis B virus is mainly transmitted through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual contact. Normal daily contact such as shaking hands, sharing utensils, and hugging will not transmit the virus.
2. Blood transmission is one of the main routes of hepatitis B virus transmission. Sharing syringes, unsterilized medical instruments, tattooing, or ear piercing may increase the risk of infection. Avoiding contact with other people's blood, using disposable medical instruments, and ensuring the sterilization of beauty tools are effective preventive measures.
3. Mother-to-child transmission is another important route of hepatitis B virus transmission. Mothers infected with hepatitis B virus may transmit the virus to their newborns during childbirth. Hepatitis B virus screening during pregnancy and timely vaccination and immunoglobulin administration to newborns after birth can significantly reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission.
4. Sexual contact is also a way for the hepatitis B virus to spread. Unprotected sex can lead to virus transmission. Using condoms, regular hepatitis B virus testing, and hepatitis B vaccination are effective ways to prevent sexual transmission.
5. Normal daily contact such as sharing utensils, shaking hands, and hugging will not transmit the hepatitis B virus. However, to avoid potential risks, it is recommended not to share personal items that may come into contact with blood, such as toothbrushes and razors. Maintaining good personal hygiene, regular hepatitis B virus testing, and vaccination are important measures to prevent infection.
Patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg positive) should actively receive treatment, have regular check-ups, maintain healthy lifestyle habits, and avoid spreading the virus. Healthy individuals should understand the transmission routes of hepatitis B virus and take effective preventative measures to protect themselves and others. Through scientific prevention and standardized treatment, the spread of hepatitis B virus can be effectively controlled.
